your going to need 1500 gallons of water.
 
I don't think that you do. Do you have any idea how big pacu's get?

OK i should have explained my self better. wasn't trying to be rude.you may know that pacus get 20 plus inches in a fish tank so if you want a healthy pacu your tank is going to need to be at the vary least 2 feet wide and 6 feet long.and that would be small for just 1 pacu,if you have 3 and all the other fish then YEP 1500 GALLONS.if you keep them pacus they will be un healthy and just a shell of what they should be.bring them back or keep just one.
 
I agree that your tank will be way too small in a very short amount of time, assuming that it's not already.

:iagree:
1500 Gal minimum. If you're hellbent on keeping the pacu's, separate them from the others and put them in an indoor pond of about 300-500 gallons. They would be a lot healthier.
